Second Chance (RSDBF 2023)

Released here on vinyl for the first time ever, this collection of rare recordings by Australian rock legends Fraternity was unearthed from the archives of original band manager Hamish Henry and curated by author and co-manager Victor Marshall whilst performing research for his book on the band, Fraternity: Pub Rock Pioneers’ (Brolga Publishing 2021).

Original cover artwork by renown Australian artist Vytas Serelis who also designed the cover artwork for Flaming Galah. The deluxe package includes a gatefold jacket packed with original press clippings and previously unpublished period band photos plus extensive liner notes by Victor Marshall.

The album features legendary AC/DC front man Bon Scott on lead vocals. His work with Fraternity put Scott on the radar of George Young, AC/DC coproducer and older brother of Angus and Malcolm, eventually leading to Scott replacing then-frontman Dave Evans in 1974.
